Hi, I'm a freelance Democratic party strategist in your mentions. After we protect trans rights by banning them from sports, we should move on to protecting abortion rights by restricting bodily autonomy. Next, we'll reign in ICE by getting tough on the border.

LOS ANGELES: ICE is prowling Silverlake & the hills

“[Other friend] was walking her dogs a block from her house in Silverlake and ice rolled up and took two gardeners
They are going up in the hills and nabbing people. Warn your neighbors!”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kba5ra5zizxsey2nq4pwnove/bafkreigqz4iwnoilpik6eghhzgw2qhftw6dd3spcjhnsk5b7g5t6xih5je@jpeg)

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

if it took "oh god, they could come after someone like me" to finally get you to a place of action, welcome
you are going to be asked to sit with that and reflect, and that's okay!
it shouldn't offend you. it should motivate you to expand your analysis on other current events as well. that's good!

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)
It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

Gavin Newsom absolutely does not have “did you read the whole thing” status, sorry
Did you actually read the whole thing? The dyslexia, ?s on what he believes in, his infidelity, criminal reform, same sex marriage licenses, Prop 50... not on anyone's band wagon but dude is not the anti-christ. And he acknowledges some dumb mistakes. His point is Dem leaders are weak not too "woke"

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
